Banxia Software Ltd is delighted to support and sponsor the Problem
Structuring Methods (PSM) stream at OR47 and we are pleased to offer a
single user license for Decision Explorer(r) as a prize for the best
paper in the PSM stream.
Banxia develops, sells and supports high quality Decision Support
Software (DSS). Our main products are Decision Explorer(r), Frontier
Analyst(r) and Impact Explorer*. Decision Explorer(r) is a powerful
ideas mapping tool used to capture and model the many ideas and
different perspectives that can surround a problem, issue or project.
The "maps" created in Decision Explorer(r) help you to make explicit
the inter-relationships and interdependencies between ideas. The
development of Decision Explorer(r) is based on the work of Professors
Eden and Ackermann, initially at the University of Bath and later at
the University of Strathclyde. Since 1996 Decision Explorer(r) has been
developed and supported by Banxia(r) Software.
Decision Explorer(r) is straightforward and easy to use and it can be
used individually or with a group. It has been specifically designed
for seamless operation when used live, in facilitated decision-making
workshops. The range of applications is broad: strategy development,
risk management, process definition, knowledge management, project
planning, scenario planning and analysis of interview data, to name but
a few. Decision Explorer(r) is used in the public, private,
not-for-profit and academic sectors with thousands of users in over 45
countries worldwide.
